Minter, who ranks 22nd in the ASCoT point standings, finished
seventh in the Fifth Heat Race and seventh in the Second "B" Feature.

"I heard the track was really small and, not only was it small,
it was a bullring," Kathryne said. "There were really short straightaways
and really wide turns. I had never sen a track like that before.

"In hot laps, I tried to figure out which lines to run. When I
came back in, I talked to Sean (McClelland, the team's crew chief) about
how to run the track. Right before the heat race, he told me to try to
run the bottom. I tried that and it didn't work very well. Then I tried
some other things that have worked for me in the past. That helped, but
there were only about three laps to go at that point. That's how it went
in the 'B,' too, so it wasn't a very good night.

"I learned a lot about running bullrings and how to stay on the
cushion though, so there were some positives. It was just a total
learning experience."

Minter, who leads the ASCS Gulf South Rookie of the Year race,
had nothing but good things to say about the Goodyear tires she has been
testing.

"The Goodyear tires were incredible again," Kathryne said. "We
had absolutely no problems with them. They always stick really well."

Minter plans to race at her home track -- Cowtown Speedway in
Kennedale, TX -- Saturday.

"We're going to head home and run Cowtown -- weather
permitting," Kathryne said. "I hear it's still raining a lot there. We
hope the weather cooperates so we can race."
